Komatsu: Gene Haas still keen to invest in F1 team if money not wasted
Following four seasons without podium finishes and only 52 total points, Haas saw changes in leadership last winter with Guenther Steiner and Simone Resta departing. Komatsu took over as team principal, with Andrea de Zordo assuming the role of technical director. These moves came as team founder Gene Haas grew frustrated with poor results and Steiner highlighted a lack of investment. Despite uncertainties, Komatsu mentioned that Haas remains committed to investing in the team, with plans for a new motorhome and the recruitment of new members. The focus is on using funds responsibly and efficiently to improve performance, with the team aiming to show progress to secure further investment from Gene Haas.
